Phoenix EOTTS Surgeon Masterclass

“Why should I give up a day or two of my practice for this?”

Beyond the procedure. Learn the complete EOTTS treatment strategy.

The Phoenix EOTTS Surgeon Masterclass is an immersive clinical and hands-on educational experience designed for foot and ankle surgeons interested in addressing the underlying biomechanical forces associated with recurrent talotarsal joint displacement.

The program goes beyond implant insertion. Surgeons explore the clinical rationale for EOTTS, identifying appropriate candidates, surgical planning and technique, postoperative management, challenging clinical scenarios, and practical strategies for integrating EOTTS into their practice.

Why EOTTS & First Cause Orthopedics

Recognizing the underlying biomechanical pathology, understanding the downstream consequences of abnormal talotarsal mechanics, and discussing where EOTTS fits within the treatment continuum.

Patient Selection & Clinical Decision-Making

Identifying the ideal EOTTS candidate, clinical and radiographic evaluation, indications and contraindications, setting patient expectations, and determining when EOTTS should—or should not—be considered.

Phoenix Surgical Technique

Hands-on cadaver training covering sizing, positioning, insertion technique, intraoperative fluoroscopy, assessment of correction, procedural pearls, and avoiding common technical errors.

Postoperative Management & Challenging Outcomes

Follow-up protocols, return to activity, recognizing less-than-ideal postoperative situations, troubleshooting persistent symptoms or over/under-correction, and strategies for revision or implant removal when appropriate.

The Business of EOTTS

Integrating EOTTS into an existing practice, patient education, establishing a reproducible patient pathway, understanding the patient-pay model when EOTTS is not a covered benefit, and communicating financial responsibility appropriately and transparently.

Surgeon Collaboration

Case discussions and candid peer-to-peer conversations with foot and ankle surgeons interested in First Cause Orthopedics—sharing clinical experiences, difficult cases, practice strategies, and approaches to advancing EOTTS patient care.
